PUNJAB MANDI BOARD vs JAGRUP SINGH . — C.A. No. 4614/2007

Case Summary: C.A. No. 004614/2007 Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed Punjab Mandi Board's appeal on May 25, 2010. The appellant challenged the High Court's decision upholding concurrent findings that employee Jagrup Singh was wrongfully denied promotion since 1988 and was entitled to salary arrears even when retrospectively promoted in 1999 under the "No Work No Pay" principle. Reason for Dismissal: The Court found the appeal was filed merely to waste public time and money. Despite the appeal being pending for six years (filed April 2004), the appellant failed to file the Trial Court's judgment or supporting documents despite being granted time to do so on August 4, 2006. The appellant's counsel even stated on August 25, 2006, that no additional documents would be filed. Note: The Court left the substantive question of law open, declining to decide on perversity grounds without complete case records.
